Transport Intelligence, an analysis and research firm for the logistics industry, ranked Lebanon in 29th place among 50 emerging markets (EMs) on its 2019 Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index. Also, Lebanon came in 10th place among 13 Arab countries and in 13th place among 19 upper middle-income countries (UMICs) included in the survey. Transport Intelligence noted that it updated its methodology for the computation of the index this year to reflect "a more complex, more connected and more divided world", as well as to assess the growth of each market based on its specific drivers and growth inhibitors. As a result, the results of this year's survey are not comparable with the 2018 edition. 

The 2019 index compares a country's prevailing operational environment to its current logistics opportunities and potential. The index is an average of three equally weighted sub-indices that are Domestic Logistics Opportunities, International Logistics Opportunities and Business Fundamentals. A higher score reflects a better performance on the index.

Lebanon has a more developed logistics infrastructure than Argentina, Kenya and Ghana, and a less developed infrastructure than Egypt, Ukraine and Pakistan among EM countries. It received a score of 4.71 points on the 2019 index, which is lower than the EM average score of 5 points, the UMICs' average of 5.12 points and the Arab average of 5.08 points. Lebanon's score is also lower than the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries' average score of 5.55 points, but is higher than the non-GCC Arab countries' average score of 4.69 points.
